    Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 is a manual focus prime lens for 35mm rangefinder cameras.

    Optical design

    Has 8 aperture blades, with this amount of aperture blades you will be satisfied with the result. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture value

    Physical characteristics

    Weights 335 grams so plan ahead, carry only if really necessary. With a lens filter diameter of 39 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. 43 mm long, this small lens should be always in the camera bag.
